Chapter 122 (1/2)

On behalf of everyone to accept the bank note, Su Peng patted on his own chest, and others all nodded spontaneously.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“See you!”

After seeing them off, Ling Jingpeng, who had been staying there, jaws dropped, exclaimed in the first place, “Ge, why would you build such a huge house? And when did you draw it?”

Only heaven knows how shocked he was when he saw it, not only because of the special but beautiful buildings on the drawing, but more because of his huge plan! He had thought that his elder brother would build a big house with three yards at most, dig a pond, and plant fruit trees on the rest of the land, but…Only the workers needed five hundred taels of silver! How much would it cost to finish the whole project?

No, he couldn’t think of it. Only by thinking of it, he felt his heart aching. At this moment, he finally felt how his stingy nephew felt. His big brother really didn’t know how to live a life. Who would squander money like that not long after earning some? No wonder Xiaowei always kept nagging him.

“Haha, a big house has its advantaged. In the future, you can Jinghan still need to get married, then the kids. When the kids grow up, they’d sleep alone. I’m afraid there wouldn’t be enough rooms then. Besides, except the main house, it’s all rooms for the servants, the warehouse and factories. Although it looks useless now, you’d understand next year. Those houses are quite necessary.”

With only one look, Ling Jingxuan knew what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and took over the teacup Yan Shengrui handed him. Did he really think he only wanted to plant things when he said he wanted to buy the half-alkaline land? He got a lot of plans. At this time next year, maybe they’d wallow in money already, and he could also satisfy his craving for being a moneybag in ancient times.

“Jingpeng, your elder brother is not an ordinary person. It wouldn’t go wrong if you listen to him. But Jingxuan, isn’t it a bit dull to build a winding corridor on such a huge pond?”

It was not that he wasn’t feeling shocked by Ling Jingxuan’s house-building plan, but Shopkeeper Zhang was much easier to accept it than Ling Jingpeng. He stretched out a hand to pat on Ling Jingpeng’s shoulder, while casting his eyes at Ling Jingxuan. Seen from the drawings, the winding corridor shouldn’t be simply an aisle. The octagonal pavilion in the middle was the best proof. But he had ever said the fish he raised in the pond were used to sell, not some koi fish for appreciation. So what’s the use to build a pavilion?

“Hehe…I was going to trouble you for something. I plan to plant all fruit tree around the pond, and duck coop in the back, I wanna raise hundreds of them. As for the pond, except fish, I also plan to plant lotus root, when the lotuses bloom, isn’t it the best scenery? As for the fry and seeds, I need to bother you to get them for me.”

As if he had expected he’d ask so, Ling Jingxuan calmly smiled. Lotuses could be used to appreciate, the seedpod and roots were eatable, and if they couldn’t eat them all, the rest could sell for money, anyhow, it was an income, right? That was whole five-mu pond. It should be enough to cover the tuition. Heihei…Since he would spend so much on the manor, anyhow, he’d try to earn it back, right? Otherwise, his little bun would nag him all day.
